9 | | after having his or her license placed on probationary |
10 | | status, has violated the terms of probation. |
11 | | (17) Failure to report in writing to the Department, |
12 | | within 60 days of an entry of a settlement or a verdict in |
13 | | excess of $10,000, any legal action in which the business |
14 | | of the dealer, dealership, or dealership agent was the |
15 | | subject of the legal action. |
16 | | (b) All fines imposed under this Section shall be paid |
17 | | within 60 days after the effective date of the order imposing |
18 | | the fine. |
19 | | Section 90. Suspension or revocation of dealership agent |
20 | | authority. |
21 | | (a) Dealership agents shall be subject to the disciplinary |
22 | | sanctions of this Act and shall otherwise comply with this Act |
23 | | and the rules adopted under it. Notwithstanding any other |
24 | | provision in this Act to the contrary, dealership agents shall |
25 | | not be responsible for compliance with any requirement that |
|
| | 10000SB1657sam001 | - 34 - | LRB100 08489 RLC 25300 a |
|
|
1 | | this Act assigns to the dealership or the licensee-in-charge |

5 | | (b) The revocation of a dealer's or dealership agent's |

9 | | Act. The suspension shall end only upon the issuance by the |
10 | | Department of State Police of a new Firearm Owner's |
11 | | Identification Card or concealed carry license to the dealer or |

13 | | Section 95. Returned checks; fines. Any person who delivers |
14 | | a check or other payment to the Department that is returned to |

21 | | that payment of fees and fines shall be paid to the Department |
22 | | by certified check or money order within 30 calendar days of |
23 | | the notification. If, after the expiration of 30 days from the |

2 | | If, after termination or denial, the person seeks a license, he |
3 | | or she shall apply to the Department for restoration or |
4 | | issuance of the license and pay all fees and fines due to the |
5 | | Department. The Department may establish a fee for the |
6 | | processing of an application for restoration of a license to |
7 | | pay all expenses of processing this application. The Secretary |
8 | | may waive the fines due under this Section in individual cases |
9 | | if the Secretary finds that the fines would be unreasonable or |
10 | | unnecessarily burdensome. |
11 | | Section 100. Statute of limitations. No action may be taken |
12 | | under this Act against a person or entity licensed under this |
13 | | Act unless the action is commenced within 5 years after the |
14 | | occurrence of the alleged violations. A continuing violation |
15 | | shall be deemed to have occurred on the date when the |
16 | | circumstances last existed that give rise to the alleged |
17 | | violation. |
18 | | Section 105. Complaints; investigations; hearings. |

6 | | against the applicant or licensee. |
7 | | (c) At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Board or |
8 | | the hearing officer appointed by the Secretary shall proceed to |
9 | | hear the charges, and the parties or their counsel shall be |
10 | | accorded ample opportunity to present any pertinent |
11 | | statements, testimony, evidence, and arguments. The Board or |
12 | | hearing officer may continue the hearing from time to time. In |
13 | | case the person, after receiving the notice, fails to file an |
14 | | answer, his or her license may, in the discretion of the |
15 | | Secretary, having first received the recommendation of the |
16 | | Board, be suspended, revoked, or placed on probationary status, |
17 | | or be subject to whatever disciplinary action the Secretary |
18 | | considers proper, including limiting the scope, nature, or |
19 | | extent of the person's business or the imposition of a fine, |
20 | | without hearing, if the act or acts charged constitute |
21 | | sufficient grounds for that action under this Act. |

23 | | proceeding may be served by certified mail to the licensee's |
24 | | address of record. |

9 | | report of its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and |
10 | | recommendations. The report shall contain a finding of whether |
11 | | the accused person violated this Act or failed to comply with |
12 | | the conditions required in this Act. The Board shall specify |
13 | | the nature of the violation or failure to comply and shall make |
14 | | its recommendation to the Secretary. |
15 | | (b) At the conclusion of the hearing, a copy of the Board |
16 | | or hearing officer's report shall be served upon the applicant |
17 | | or licensee by the Department, either personally or as provided |
18 | | in this Act for the service of a notice of hearing. Within 20 |
19 | | calendar days after service, the applicant or licensee may |
20 | | present to the Department a motion in writing for a rehearing, |
21 | | which shall specify the particular grounds for rehearing. The |
22 | | Department may respond to the motion for rehearing within 20 |
23 | | calendar days after its service on the Department. If no motion |
24 | | for rehearing is filed, then upon the expiration of the time |
25 | | specified for filing such a motion, or upon denial of a motion |
|
| | 10000SB1657sam001 | - 38 - | LRB100 08489 RLC 25300 a |
|
|
1 | | for rehearing, the Secretary may enter an order in accordance |
2 | | with the recommendations of the Board or hearing officer. If |
3 | | the applicant or licensee orders from the reporting service and |

5 | | a motion for rehearing, the 20-day period within which a motion |
6 | | may be filed shall commence upon the delivery of the transcript |
7 | | to the applicant or licensee. |

9 | | substantial justice has been done, the Secretary may order a |
10 | | rehearing by the same or another hearing officer. |

12 | | public record and shall be preserved. |
13 | | (e) The dealer or dealership may continue to operate as a |

15 | | hearing, unless the Secretary finds that the public interest, |
16 | | safety, or welfare requires an emergency action. |
17 | | (f) Upon the suspension or revocation of a license, the |
18 | | licensee shall surrender the license to the Department and, |
19 | | upon failure to do so, the Department shall seize the same. |

1 | | Section 120. Restoration of license after disciplinary |
2 | | proceedings. At any time after the successful completion of a |
3 | | term of indefinite probation, indefinite suspension, or |
4 | | revocation of a license, the Department may restore it to the |
5 | | licensee, unless, after an investigation and a hearing, the |
6 | | Secretary determines that restoration is not in the public |
7 | | interest. No person or entity whose license, card, or authority |
8 | | has been revoked as authorized in this Act may apply for |
9 | | restoration of that license, registration, or authority until |
10 | | such time as provided for in the Civil Administrative Code of |
11 | | Illinois. |
12 | | Section 125. Injunction; cease and desist orders. |
13 | | (a) Upon the filing of a verified petition in court, if |
14 | | satisfied by affidavit or otherwise that the person, firm, |
15 | | corporation, or other legal entity is or has been conducting |
16 | | activities in violation of this Act, the court may enter a |
17 | | temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, without |
18 | | bond, enjoining the defendant from further activity. A copy of |
19 | | the verified complaint shall be served upon the defendant and |
20 | | the proceedings shall be conducted as in civil cases. If it is |
21 | | established the defendant has been or is conducting activities |
22 | | in violation of this Act, the court may enter a judgment |
23 | | enjoining the defendant from that activity. In case of |
24 | | violation of any injunctive order or judgment entered under |
25 | | this Section, the court may punish the offender for contempt of |
|
| | 10000SB1657sam001 | - 40 - | LRB100 08489 RLC 25300 a |
|
|
1 | | court. Injunctive proceedings shall be in addition to all other |
2 | | penalties under this Act. |
3 | | (b) If any person has engaged in the business of selling, |
4 | | leasing, or otherwise transferring firearms without having a |
5 | | valid license under this Act, then any licensee, any interested |
6 | | party, or any person injured thereby may, in addition to the |
7 | | Secretary, petition for relief as provided in subsection (a) of |
8 | | this Section. |
9 | | (c) Whenever the Department has reason to believe a person, |
10 | | firm, corporation, or other legal entity has violated any |
11 | | provision of this Act, the Department may issue a rule to show |
12 | | cause why an order to cease and desist should not be entered |
13 | | against that person, firm, corporation, or other legal entity. |
14 | | The rule shall clearly set forth the grounds relied upon by the |
15 | | Department and shall provide a period of 7 days from the date |
16 | | of the rule to file an answer to the satisfaction of the |
17 | | Department. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the |
18 | | Department shall cause an order to cease and desist to be |
19 | | issued immediately. |
20 | | Section 130. Administrative review. All final |
21 | | administrative decisions of the Department are subject to |
22 | | judicial review under Article III of the Code of Civil |
23 | | Procedure. The term "administrative decision" is defined as in |

25 | | for judicial review shall be commenced in the circuit court of |

5 | | otherwise appear in any court in a judicial review proceeding, |
6 | | unless and until the Department has received from the plaintiff |
7 | | payment of the costs of furnishing and certifying the record, |
8 | | which costs shall be determined by the Department. Exhibits |
9 | | shall be certified without cost. Failure on the part of the |
10 | | applicant or licensee to file a receipt in court is grounds for |
11 | | dismissal of the action. |
12 | | Section 135. Prima facie proof. |
13 | | (a) An order or a certified copy thereof, over the seal of |
14 | | the Department and purporting to be signed by the Secretary, is |

16 | | and the Secretary is qualified to act. |
17 | | (b) A certified copy of a record of the Department shall, |

11 | | obedience to its order by proceedings for contempt. |
12 | | (c) The Secretary, the hearing officer, any member of the |
13 | | Board, or a certified shorthand court reporter may administer |
14 | | oaths at any hearing the Department conducts. Notwithstanding |
15 | | any other statute or Department rule to the contrary, all |
16 | | requests for testimony, production of documents or records |
17 | | shall be in accordance with this Act. |

6 | | Dedicated Fund and shall be appropriated to the Department for |
7 | | the ordinary and contingent expenses of the Department in the |

12 | | accordance with Article 5 of the Illinois Administrative |
13 | | Procedure Act. |
14 | | (b) Article 10 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act |
15 | | is expressly adopted and incorporated in this Act as if all of |
16 | | the provisions of that Article were included in this Act, |
17 | | except that the provision of paragraph (d) of Section 10-65 of |

19 | | at hearings the registrant or licensee has the right to show |
20 | | compliance with all lawful requirements for retention or |

23 | | under Section 10-25 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure |
24 | | Act is considered sufficient when mailed to the address of |
25 | | record of a party. |

18 | | Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
|
19 | | finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior |
20 | | notice or

State under Section 5-70. The notice |
22 | | shall include the text of the

12 | | longer than
150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt an |
13 | | identical rule under Section
5-40 is not precluded. No |
14 | | emergency rule may be adopted more
than once in any 24-month 24 |
15 | | month period, except that this limitation on the number
of |
16 | | emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24-month 24 month |

generic drug |
20 | | formulary under Section 3.14 of the Illinois Food, Drug

9 | | health benefits provided to annuitants, survivors, and retired |
10 | | employees under the State Employees Group Insurance Act of |

12 | | annuitants, survivors, retired employees, or any combination |
13 | | of those entities, for that program of group health benefits, |
14 | | shall be adopted as emergency rules. The adoption of those |
15 | | rules shall be considered an emergency and necessary for the |
16 | | public interest, safety, and welfare. |
17 | | (d) In order to provide for the expeditious and timely |
18 | | implementation
of the State's fiscal year 1999 budget, |
